First notebook entry: Introducing myself
I am learning English , because I might study or work abroad, and I want to make friends from different countries. I am a native speaker of Chinese, and I grew up in China. If you are interested in learning Chinese and you're a English native speaker , maybe we can do language exchange.
0 votedDecember 7, 20120- The second is correct because "do you think" is the inverted verb-subject that makes the sentence a question. "The reason is" is the object of the sentence; there is no reason to invert the subject and verb. Americans frequently say the first and, similarly, use noun clauses incorrectly. For example, people sometimes say, "I wonder what is she going to do today?" But a noun clause ("what she is going to do today) is acting as a noun (subject or object) and, therefore, the subject-verb order should not be inverted. The correct way to say this is "I wonder what she is going to do today."0 votedOctober 2, 20120
- I used to teach an entire class on responding to "What" and "How" greetings. When someone greets you with a "What" question (What's up? What's happening? What's going on?) and it's just a greeting, appropriate responses include: Not much Nothing Same old thing Nothing new For "How" questions (How are you? How are you doing? How have you been?), appropriate answers include: Fine. Pretty good. Not bad. Not too good. The key is whether the greeting is a "what" or a "how" question.0 votedOctober 2, 20120
- No, certainly not in American English; that would sound weird. Common responses to "Thank you very much" in the States include "You're welcome." "No problem." In the South: "You bet." There are many other phrases used, also, but "It doesn't matter" sounds like you are blowing the person off (do not value their thanks).0 votedOctober 2, 20125
